Does /dev/fuse exist in the container?  You'd have to give some details
about the container (at least a config file) so we could see how /dev/fuse
is meant to be there.  But since it says "device not found" I suspect
the file is simply not there, rather than the container having lost
permissions to use it.  Perhaps you're using a persistent-till-next-reboot
dev mountpoint for the container and started the container before loading
fuse, so no /dev/fuse bind mount could be made?  Just guessing.
